AND, just in case it hasn't already been posted here (sorry guys, 67 pages and I only have 15 minutes before the boss arrives) I ran into a GREAT article about why the fear that trans women rapists would have greater access is total bullshit. It's not very long, it's an easy read, and it's succinct.

"Proponents of these “bathroom bills” argue that they’re a safety measure to prevent trans women from harassing or assaulting cis women. Here’s why that’s absurd: There are already laws against harassing and assaulting people. And there are no documented cases I can find of a trans woman harassing or assaulting anybody in a public bathroom."
"This is all the more infuriating because women’s safety is a real issue, and is genuinely under attack from many sides. I can scarcely fathom the level of misogyny needed to assert that women need bathrooms segregated by birth-assigned sex, but not access to reproductive health services, not better sex education, not racial justice or economic justice."
"I am tired of people who don’t care about what’s best for women pretending they do only when it’s convenient, meaning only when it will allow them to discriminate against an even more oppressed group."
